This exquisite original woodblock print by the renowned Meiji-era artist Imao Keinen features the stunning 'Iris and Frog' motif from the celebrated series 'Keinen Kachō Gafu', published in 1891. The piece measures 7 1/4 x 13 inches, with the image size being 5 x 9 1/2 inches. Despite its current fair condition, with notable paper toning and some fading, this artwork provides a unique glimpse into Keinen's artistic vision and mastery of kachō-ga (bird-and-flower pictures). The work is marked with his 'Keinen' seal, validating its authenticity. Imao Keinen (1845-1924) was a distinguished painter and print designer, honored as an Imperial Household Artist. His commitment to traditional Japanese painting culminated in his most significant contribution: 'Keinen Kachō Gafu'. This print represents a vital piece of his legacy and is a must-have for collectors of Japanese art.
